His many kind deeds and gracious hospitality will long be remembered in his own community and the surrounding countryside as well as in the place of his birth in all of which he had hosts of friends and many relatives who mourn his passing. We can truly say that he was a venerable and worthy citizen beloved by all both young and old.

l 1. SOME PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN IN CAMPBELLTON By Mary MacKay Cousins

I would like to mention the names of some of the people who performed outstanding work in the church, Sunday School and community.

Dan Reilly, who was an Elder for many years, also taught in the Sunday School and nursed the sick regardless of race, color or creed. Although he sat down to humble fare, he never forgot to thank God for whatever he had. He kept his faith.

Mr. and Mrs. Ingham Wright devoted time and money for the church. Mrs. Wright was a teacher in the Sunday School and served as an organist for a time.

The Charles MacNeill Family kept the church alive with their music and teaching.

Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bradshaw gave so much of their time. Mrs. Bradshaw was a tireless worker in the Women’s Missionary Society, Fellowship Group and the Sunday School. Lloyd Bradshaw spent many hours doing repair jobs around the church and cemetery but was always ready to take his place in the choir on Sunday.
